Official SSC Tuatara Interior Photos
Here are the official images (renderings) the folks at SSC sent to Teamspeed first on their upcoming American made Super-car
Release from SSC: Inspired by Jason Castriota's exterior styling, we carried some of the aerospace inspired design, as well as the car’s exterior design features, into the interior of the Tuatara.
The main gauge cluster area is a glass screen that is lit up by Pico projectors behind, and is similar to a HUD (Heads Up Display). On the driver's side, 2 smaller HUD displays, are located on each side of the steering column; their design inspired by the Tuatara's rear winglets. On the right, the HUD displays the current gear of the car, and is flanked by a shift indicator light tree that provides the driver with valuable shift timing information. The left HUD displays any vital information the driver chooses. These settings are available through a menu on the central command console.
The Tuatara will provide a unique, yet thrilling experience to its passengers by making them feel like more of a co-pilot instead of just a tag-along. Included in front of the passenger seat are 2 small auxiliary screens that provide the co-pilot information about the vehicle and their current experience, like its current speed, RPM or BHP. Just on the left side of the central console is the red 'START' button, which when pressed initiates a clockwise-motion lighting sequence on the red lights located around the start button. The engine turns on immediately when all the red lights have illuminated.

The central console has a large touch screen. The buttons located near the touch screen control other important functions, like traction control, and driving modes, in addition to other features. The holes pattern on the top of the central console area are inspired by the hole patterns on the Tuatara's exterior body panels, and function as a central vents that circulates the cabin air.
The exterior hole pattern design inspiration is not limited to the central console, but is also visible on the door panels, along the base of the windshield where it serves as the defrost vents, and along the rear console positioned between the seats. Large woofers are located in the lower portion of the door panel design as part of the Tuatara's premium sound package.
The central AC vents are inspired by the Tuatara's twin central exhausts. The side AC vents are inspired by the 4 rocket exhaust design found on the Space Shuttles. Optional Interior colors will consist of a 2-tone appearance accented in exposed carbon fiber and elegant touches of metal.

It'd be cool in a video game but really lacks a design that flows as well as the exterior, especially the center of the dash area being so flat.

It is almost surreal. Like a gift from some otherworldly dimension. It would be complete if Rod Serling appeared to exit the car and say "Picture if you will....."
